Uortiporius, King of Demetia (Dyfed)

- Yes, date unknown

• Name	Uortiporius   [1]
  Suffix	King of Demetia (Dyfed)
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	He "was apparently old at the time Gildas was writing (perhaps between 500 and 550) [Gildas, De Excidio Britanniae, 31:CIIC.358=ECMW.138, a memorial stone with Irish ogam inscription "VOTECORIGAS" and Latin inscription "MEMORIA VOTEPORIGIS PROTICTORIS"; HG.2: "Guortepir map Aircol", ED]. As the recipient of a severe denunciation by his contemporary Gildas, and the subject of a memorial stone, he is the best documented individual in the earlier generations of this ancestor table. His uncertain chronological position depends on the still debated chronology of his contemporary Gildas." [1]
